Cutting Edge Family Dentistry offers tooth implant options by Danielle Smith dsmith@thepaperofwabash.c om

Dr. Lisa M. Strieter is offering unique and practical options for implant placement and denture stabilization at her office, Cutting Edge Family Dentistry, 948 Manchester Ave., Wabash. Approximately one year ago, Dr. Strieter began placing conventional implants, which are used to replace a missing or damaged tooth. Implants can be placed in a space where a tooth has been removed or where a tooth never came in. “It’s the best alternative to replacing a tooth at this point because it doesn’t involve the other teeth beside it,” Dr. Strieter said. “When you do a bridge it involves cutting each tooth beside it and that destroys tooth structure and you risk root canals.” Dr. Strieter went on to explain that implants will not get cavities so they are a long-term, and even lifetime, treatment option. Cutting Edge is also offering the MDI Denture Stabilization System. “Most people don’t wear their lower denture or have a difficult time with their lower denture so this helps stabilize it, kind of like a tabletop,” Dr. Strieter said. This revolutionary option involves the installation of miniature titanium alloy implants in the patient’s gums. These

Local story to make national headlines again by Craig Brosman cbrosman@thepaperofwabash.com

After Dateline NBC Producer Fred Rothenberg read Hillel Levin’s book “In With the Devil” and spoke with the author, he knew he had to come to Wabash. Rothenberg was intrigued by the story of Jimmy Keene and Wabash native Larry Hall. Rothenberg pitched his idea to his boss at NBC who liked the idea. Rothenberg then started to put together the pieces for the show. “I read about how Keene was the only to ever inmate request a transfer from a low security facility to a maximum security prison,” Rothenberg said. “The U.S. district attorney asked him to

be an informant for the United States government and if he got what they needed he was to be let go unconditionally. The over arching story in the book was Larry Hall.” On July 18, Rothenberg was in Wabash filming parts for his special that will most likely air in the late fall. He interviewed numerous Wabash locals that knew Hall. Not only did he spend time in Wabash, but also he spent time in Gas City, Marion, Urbana, Ill., Danville, Ill. and Georgetown, Ill. “The case really starts in Illinois,” Rothenberg said. “He was convicted on Aug., 18, 1995 of kidnapping 15-year-old Jessica Roach while she was riding her bike in rural Georgetown, Ill. Six

months later her body was found lying in a cornfield in Indiana.” Hall is suspected of killing 53 women ages 10 to 59 from 1981 to 1994. The theme that seems to pop up in most of the suspected slayings is that Hall was a Civil War reenactor and women would come up missing after he had been to town for a reenactment. Hall is presently serving a life sentence without the possibility for parole for a federal charge of kidnapping. Wabash resident and Historian Ron Woodward is familiar with the Hall case and especially how it affected the Wabash area after it broke. Woodward is a retired History teacher for the Wabash City School District and taught during the

Mormons from Northeast Indiana and Northwest Ohio met at Salamonie Reservoir by Craig Brosman When it comes to

actually understanding what it was like to

trek across America in the 19th century, no

one knows it better than a group of 160

Mormon youth. On July 19 nearly 160 teenagers from multiple Mormon stakes in Northeast Indiana and Northwest Ohio created fictional families and embarked on a three-day physical and spiritual journey through time at Salamonie Reservoir. The youth along with 30 adults recreated the 1848 handcart trek to Zion, where Mor mon

families migrated west to avoid persecution. They even dressed up in period clothing. Church member and organizer Richard Hamilton, of Toledo, Ohio said this was the first time that they have been on the handcart trek, but it serves a similar purpose. “It is about teamwork,” Hamilton said. “They will have to work together to carry the carts over rocks, mud, hills and water. It is a physical and spiritual challenge in a controlled fashion.” The Fort Wayne stake has been a part of this conference previously, but this year they invited stakes from Ohio as well. In years past there have been groups from Fort Wayne and Muncie at the reservoir for the same conference. On their journey from Iowa to Utah in the 19th century, Mormons trekked across thousands of miles of the American plains to escape religious persecution, many of those who made the (continued on page 6)

Serious birth defects linked to smoking during pregnancy Missing or limbs, deformed clubfoot, facial disorders, and gastrointestinal problems are some of the most birth common defects found to be associated with smoking during pregnancy, according to a comprehen-

sive review published in Human Reproduction Update, led by scientists at University College London. The authors examined a total of 172 research papers published over the last years, which 50 looked at a combined

total of 174,000 cases malformation of alongside 11.7 million controls. The risk was increased by 26 percent for having a baby with missing or deformed limbs, 28 percent for clubfoot, 27 percent for gastrointestinal defects, 33 percent

for skull defects, 25 for eye percent defects, and 28 percent for cleft lip/palate. The greatest increase in risk (50 percent) was for a condition called gastroschisis, where parts of the stomach or intestines pro-

trude through the skin. The research authors recommend that public health guidance should now be more explicit about the specific malformations associated with maternal smoking, in order to reduce the numbers of pregnant women

who smoke. For more information, visit http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/relea ses/230885.php Women who stop smoking even as late as when their pregnancy has been confirmed can achieve birth weights which

MSD of Wabash County is proud of the quality of education it offers. Our staff has designed outstanding e d u c a t i o n a l opportunities to meet the needs of individual students. We want to build character and capacity – character to do the right thing and the capacity to do things right. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact my office.

Metropolitan School District of Wabash County was one of only 22 school districts of 135 that applied to receive the prestigious Classroom Innovation Grant. The IDOE believes M. S. D. W. C. of Wabash County will promote educational innovation through the use of technology. We will be able to collaborate with professional educators in the county, across the state, and across the world. Staff will have professional development targeted to their proficiency level in order that they may provide top quality instruction to students through enhanced use of technology. We will be establishing model classrooms using iPads and laptops. Let me take you on a virtual tour; walk into one classroom and see content being delivered not through textbooks, but through on-line media. Stroll down the hall and find other students not only reading content, but writing their own on wikis and blogs. We know students learn better when they are active participants in their own learning. Our elementary buildings have been reconfigured to allow us to balance class size while facilitating teacher collaboration and the development of professional learning communities. Southwood Elementary is now a K-4 building while LaFontaine is 5-6. You will find Metro North to be a K-3 building with Sharp Creek housing our 4-6 students. The reason for the different configurations south and north has to do with the number of classrooms available in the buildings. M. S. D. W. C. staff will work collaboratively to plan instruction for your student. We will monitor if they have learned the content and intervene if they have not learned it. An additional goal is to provide enrichment for students who have already mastered the classroom goals. We know that if we work in isolation we will accomplish less; therefore, we are working to build a collaborative culture with a focus on student learning. As a result of our collaborative professional learning communities, we believe we will see increased student engagement. Ask your student. Ask the researchers. Ask principals. They all say the same thing, “Students want to know that teachers care about them as individuals and as learners.” We will strive to do this and only improve as we work with students at all learning levels. As students are more engaged in the learning process, we plan to increase their literacy skills. We will promote the idea of “reading is thinking.” However, literacy is not just in reading or English class anymore. What about Math literacy? Students must be taught how to read math content. It is a very different approach than reading a novel. Technology literacy is extremely important to our 21st Century learners. They must understand the information and communication technology literacies today to be able to succeed in the world of work or higher education. We concentrate on the development of the whole child. We offer student participation in a variety of academic competitions. Our students participated in the first annual Tech Fest at Sweetwater Sound in Fort Wayne. They swept the competition walking away with over $3,000.00 in scholarships and prizes. FFA students have won prestigious awards at the state level. In fact, three 7th grade students from Southwood High School won top honors at the state FFA Convention. To better serve our students with high ability we will be offering a video conference system so that they can participate in Honors Physics without the need to drive from one building to another. We offer high quality athletics in a wide variety of sports for young women and men. Please visit our website for a comprehensive list. www.msdwc.k12.in.us.

are the same as if they had never smoked, according to a study conducted by researchers at the University of Southhampton. Researchers collected data from more than 50,000 pregnancies registered at the Southhampton University Medical Center between 2002 and 2010 and divided them based on smoking status. After controlling for gestational age, maternal age, body mass index (BMI), and socioeconomic status, researchers found that women who stopped smoking around the periconceptional period gave birth to babies with a significantly higher birth weight than the women who continued to smoke during their pregnancy. The babies of mothers who quit during this period also reached the same gestational age and head circumference as those born to women who had never smoked. The N a t i o n a l Collaborating Centre for Women’s and Children’s Health gave recommendations for promoting pregnant cessation among pregnant women, including informing them about specific risks of smoking during pregnancy, offering personalized information and support on how to stop smoking, and emphasizing the benefits of quitting at any stage. To get the needed help to quit smoking call Teresa at the Purdue Extension, Wabash Office, 260563-0661 ext. 246. WIC, Life Center, and Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition, along with the Wabash Purdue Extension office, work together to provide a healthier environment for the new mother and her baby. There are incentive gifts to encourage the completion of the cessation and healthy baby instruction. Call today for the needed help.

Manchester Rental gives back to 4-H with moonwalks at fair

MANCHESTER RENTAL CO-OWNERS Todd Brewer (center) and Cristal Brewer (right), along with their son, Austin Brewer (left) stand in front of one of the two moonwalks that they donated to the Wabash County 4-H Fair after finding out that the fair would have no midway rides this year. (photo by Brent Swan) by Eric Christiansen When Cristal Brewer, co-owner of Manchester Rental, heard that the Wabash County 4-H Fair wasn’t able to have a midway and carnival rides this year, she knew what needed to happen. After the original company that was signed up to provide a midway backed out, the 4-H Fair Board scrambled to find a second company, only to learn that the company’s

inspections expired just before the dates of the fair. “I didn’t realize they weren’t having a midway, and I think it was a surprise to everyone, from what I could gather,” Brewer said. Brewer received a phone call from a friend asking if she knew there was no midway at the fair, and asked if she might be interested in getting involved. “Of course we wanted to help,” she

said. “My kids were in 4-H. All three of my daughters went through the program, so we just wanted to give back to the community.” Brewer contacted the fair board and asked about donating two moonwalks to the fair. “We wanted something for the kids to do,” she added. Manchester Rental donated the moonwalks to the 4-H Fair at no charge. “After we paid for

labor, the proceeds went back to the fair,” Brewer said. “We are keeping nothing. That’s not why we wanted to do it.” The board suggested the proceeds would go towards the building fund. Brewer said Manchester Rental

was more than happy to help a program that has helped so many Wabash County youth. “We think 4-H is a great thing, and we are very supportive of the 4-H program,” she said. “It’s a wonderful thing for the kids to go through. I know my kids learned a lot from it, and still apply today what they learned. I can’t say enough about 4-H.” Brewer also is appreciative of the support from the surrounding area. “Everyone in the county has been good about going through us, and going local with their orders and rentals,” she said. Manchester Rental also owns Warsaw Party & Rental, and just bought out the inventory of another rental business in South Bend. “We have a lot more tables, tents, and more up to date center pieces,” Brewer said. “We have a lot more of everything in comparison to any rental

business in Fort and Wayne Indianapolis. We do company parties to upscale weddings. We have it all.” But it was the chance to help a community that was the number one goal last week at the 4-H fair. “We are just thank-

ful for the opportunity to give back to the community,” Brewer said. “We can’t donate to every single person who calls. We like to do as much as possible, and this was something that we could do for a lot of people at one time.”

Re p r e s e n t a t ive s from Brodbeck Seeds, the city of Wabash and Habitat for Humanity gathered at 1422 Vernon Street on Thursday to celebrate construction of a new home on land previously owned by the city. Brodbeck Seeds General Manager Jim Engelberth presented Habitat for Humanity with a $15,000 donation from Brodbeck Seeds, an affiliate of Dow AgroSciences, through The Dow

Chemical Company Foundation. The donation will help fund construction of the new home. Mayor Robert Vanlandingham said the city sold the land to Wabash County Habitat for Humanity for $1. “Habitat for Humanity is a great organization that fulfills a need within our community. The city is honored to be part of fulfilling that need. It’s just the right thing to do,” M a y o r Vanlandingham stated. The project broke ground on June 12, and when it is completed the home will provide a new start for a Wabash family. It will also put into private hands land that was previously maintained at the expense of the city. “Brodbeck Seeds is committed to strengthening the local communities it serves,” said E n g e l b e r t h . “Wabash has been very supportive of Brodbeck Seeds and we’re committed to reinvesting in this

A CHECK WAS PRESENTED to Habitat for Humanity from Brodbeck Seeds to fund the home being built on Vernon Street.

(photo by Danielle Smith) vibrant community by supporting the good works of Habitat for Humanity.” Collaboration between public and private organizations is at the heart of the Habitat for Humanity model according to Roger Tate, president of Wabash County Habitat for Humanity. “There are three factors that Habitat needs to build a home. We need land, funding and a family who is willing and able to invest sweat equity in the project. The city provided the land, Brodbeck Seeds donated funding and we identified

a homeowner, so we are delighted to build this home,” Tate said. The new home will be the 15th home constructed by Wabash County Habitat for Humanity since 1992. Homeowners are selected based on financial need, their willingness to contribute to the construction of the home and their commitment and ability to repay a zero-interest, 20-year mortgage loan. The organization relies on volunteers to provide the majority of services, with specialized services such as HVAC provided by contractors.

According to M a y o r Vanlandingham, the Vernon Street project is an example of the good that can arise from public/private collaboration. He noted that corporate citizens like Brodbeck Seeds, non-profit organizations like Habitat for Humanity and the donations of citizen volunteers can give a boost to the entire community. “For government to work best, we need to form partnerships with businesses and organizations. We can achieve so much more when we collaborate and work together,” he said.

Writer addresses TEA party issues Dear editor, Listen if you have ears. “The government cannot give us anything it doesn’t first take (tax) away (legal theft).” The federal government doesn’t produce (hardly) anything, but takes away (legal theft) resources from productive people to re-distribute. And when you have more people riding the wagon (freeloaders) then you have pulling the wagon (tax payers), you will soon have a (taxpayer) revolt. Welcome TEA party: Taxed Enough Already! I am writing to remind people that President Reagan got federal taxes reduced to a 35 percent top maximum rate, and federal tax revenue soared and doubled in only 8 years. Yes! It’s true. When you lower taxes you get more tax revenue. (The converse is also true:

raising taxes will actually reduce federal income tax revenue.) But Obama doesn’t really care about increasing tax revenue. He cares about punishing the “rich” productive/ successful taxpayers. And he has NOT had a tax cut for anyone yet. He only extended the Bush tax cuts for 2 years, which kept taxes from going up until 2012. (He said this will cost the average family a $3500 tax increase.) It is coming really soon. The private sector “rich” already pay 78 percent of federal tax revenue. If Obama raises their taxes, they will actually slow down production (and U.s. economic recovery). It’s like if you and I went into work and they announced, “your taxes and healthcare costs just went up to now we are required to withhold 60 percent of

your paycheck, but you get to keep 40 percent. Now, who wants to work overtime? And who wants to invest in our profit sharing plan?” How would you respond. Realize that “rich” business people already employ 84 percent of private sector employees. They know how to manage resources like money (capital), raise production, hire and train millions of new employees. But they face a new 50-70 percent federal tax rate, state and local taxes, property taxes, Obama healthcare taxes, and threats of a New Carbon Tax with resulting higher electric rates! How can a wise business person invest with so much cost uncertainty? They can’t. So they are sitting on $3 trillion in capital,

which they won’t invest in the U.S.A., at least right now. I think the solution is obvious. It is time for a change from more “tax and

government.”

fact that there was no forensic evidence found is not surprising.” Now that Levin has written a book about Keene and Hall, the mood in Wabash has changed. Woodward said there are a few options as to what you would hear from on the someone street if they were asked about Hall. “First someone would say I don’t want to talk about it and end the conversation there,” said. Woodward “Secondly they would say I don’t know who that is or what happened and I think that would be the most popular response.” Woodward added that this is not the first time that Wabash has had an issue with a mass murderer. 1855 John “In Hubbard killed eight in Richvalley,” Woodward said. “There was a mass murder in Laketon in the 1930’s as well.

and I don’t think he could or knew how.” After reading Levin’s book “In With the Devil” Davis wrote to the author. “I hated to put it (the book) down. I contacted Levin and we were sharing information,” Davis said. “Levin asked if it was okay to give my name on to Fred Rothenberg at NBC in about May of this year. Fred contacted me and asked if it was okay to interview me and I agreed.” Davis even wrote a letter to Hall, who is in the Buntner Federal Correctional Complex , in Buntner, N.C. “I have no clue how many he killed. There is no doubt in my mind that he did though,” Davis said. “I wrote Larry a letter to ask him to release the information as to where the bodies are so that the families can have closure. He wrote me back and when I wrote him to ask him to help the families

he hasn’t got back to me and I understand that.” Davis is very optimistic about the power of the TV special and what it can do for the case and the parents. “I am really hoping that he will release information on the children to bring home what is left of their loved ones,” Davis said. “I hope Larry helps these people. I don’t think that when a parent loses their child there is true closure. If it happened to my child I would want to be able to visit where they are. It would help the parents spiritually.” In November of 2010 Hall admitted to the murder of Laurie Depies, who went missing in Menasha, Wis., in 1992 after Hall was in the area for a Civil War reenactment. Hall’s confession came two months after Levin and Keene released their book “In With the Devil.”

ry of murder, it seems to pop up every five years or so.” While Woodward had intimate knowledge of the emotional climate in Wabash another resident has a different perspective on Hall. June Davis, Wabash, has daughters the same age as Hall and they used to hang around Hall and his twin brother. “When I found out about Larry I was stunned. I thought to myself, what kind of danger were my daughters in,” Davis said. “I knew there was something different about Larry, he was so quiet and had a lot missing in his life.” In fact Hall was the opposite of his twin brother Gary, from what Davis said. “Gary was more outgoing and dated girls,” Davis said. “He (Larry) was a loner. He looked up to Gary, they were close. If I had a name for Larry it was Gary’s Shadow. Larry did not mingle

journey died. The Wilderness Youth Conference in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints only happens once every four years and for many of the youth this is their first time taking part in the event. On the first day they traveled six miles up and down steep hills and across creeks and through the rough terrain of the reservoir, but on the second and third days not only was their physical strength tested but their spiritual strength as well. “The youth involved will realize their rolls as sons and daughters of the heavenly father through this event,” Hamilton said. “Family is the basic unit of organization in the church. The young men realize what will

happen if they don’t do what they need to. It is a cause and effect situation where they watch their sisters go through a difficult circumstance and suffer, but have no control over the situation and cannot help them.” For the youth it is not always a fun event when they are out in 95-degree weather sweating and working diligently during a heat advisory to ensure that their cart makes it through the wilderness, but it is a life-changing event. Ethan Allen, 16, of Delta was one of the 160 youth to take part in the event. “It was really hot out, but we learned quickly to work together and drink a lot of water,” Allen said. “It is difficult and we get tired quickly, that is why we change

positions on the cart about every 20 minutes.” Roy Chase, of Bowling Green, Ohio was one of the fictional parents on the trip and he had nothing but praise for his kids. “These kids are great, it is not every day that you can find a group of 14 to 18 year old kids and dress them up in heavy clothes and walk them in the hot weather and they are still ok and having fun.” At the end of the conference the teenagers reflect back on the hardships and spiritual sessions that they have gone through. “Afterwards the kids enjoy the experience,” Hamilton said. “There is a literal conversion in thought once the conference is over. It changes lives.”

implants mimic the action of the root of a tooth, holding the denture in place from inside the patient’s gums. “You put the implant in and it’s loose in the sense that it’s not tightened around the bone. As you heal, over the next three or four months, the bone comes in around it so it’s just like a conventional implant you would do with replacing a knee: you put it in, but you still need time for that bone to heal in around it,” Dr. Strieter explained. In addition to the implant and denture stabilization services, Dr. Strieter provides

all standard dental procedures and some cosmetic procedures including whitening and laser treatment for cold sores. “If you start to get a cold sore I can go in and laser it and I’ll actually stop the lesion from forming or it will be abbreviated, which means it will be a faster healing time. You may go from a two-week time span to a few days,” she explained. She went on to say that she has received varying degrees of response to this treatment, but all have been positive. Cutting Edge offers the most up-to-date technology options in

the dental industry. Dr. Strieter informed The Paper that her office plans to switch to digital dental impressions soon, which will eliminate the uncomfortable process of traditional impressions.

parking areas along Smith Street. In that same general area, the trail passes through a wetland, which Titus hopes will provide the opportunity for educational signage along the trail. This project, which is finally becoming a reality, is something that has been discussed for longer than a decade. Jim Ridenour, one of the individuals instrumental in developing Paradise Springs, mentioned the idea of this particular trail route around 1995, during the initial development of the Riverwalk. “During a public meeting, Jim was talking about the potential impact that the Paradise Spring Riverwalk could have on future trails and he mentioned that someday perhaps this trail could be extended along the river.” Then in 2002, when Robert Vanlandingham Mayor of became Wabash, he identified this project as something he wanted to pursue. This is likely just

another milestone in the ongoing process of beautifying and improving the City of Titus is Wabash. already considering ways that this extension could lead to even more trail options in the city. “One of the things this trail does is it offers opportunities to continue the trail to other lengths, perhaps to the west and up through the City Park or perhaps a link along Carroll Street that would take you up to the Y, the Honeywell Center and Downtown,” he concluded.

Lincolnville United Methodist Church to start men’s shelter in Wabash by Craig Brosman cbrosman@thepaperofwabash.com

Two years ago Rhonda Duhammel and the Lincolnville United Methodist Church decided to put together New Beginnings, a men’s program for those in need; now it has become much more than counseling. On July 19, New Beginnings and the Lincolnville United Methodist Church announced the expansion of their programming for men in need. The church is in the process of purchasing the Church of Our Savior, on Vernon Street in Wabash. “What we have planned is a residential facility where those in need of drug or alcohol counseling or to get out of a bad situation can come and receive a faith non-denominational approach to counseling and rehab i l i t a t i o n , ” Duhamell said. “You can’t treat the parts, you have to treat the whole person.” With this program the church will offer housing for a few

men to begin and will grow the program to no more than 12. The program will offer men the chance to clean up and find God so that they can enhance their life as well as be productive in society. “We will offer life skills and we will encourage the men to find jobs,” Duhamell said. “They will be expected to do their own laundry, cooking, and maintenance of the building.” Not just any man can be accepted to the program. Each prospective applicant must have his GED or high school diploma and write a letter to the programs board of directors asking for their admittance. Melissa Rice works with Duhamell on the project and they have set some guidelines. “We will not accept anyone,” Rice said. “They have to want to come and change. They cannot come because they are forced to or the court tells them they need to, they have to want

to come because they want it.” The board of directors will review each applicant and there will be an interview process to ensure that each man they choose to participate in the project is genuine and real about changing their life. “The first six months we will focus completely on them,” Rice said. “We can’t expect them to be totally equipped for the program to begin with. We will focus on their life and Christ. The big thing they need to know is servanthood.” New Beginnings believes in the power of faith-based counseling and the program in which they have set up. “We cannot help them on an hour a week,” Rice said. “We must remove them from their environment and open their eyes to what is in store for them. Faith based material sticks longer and better than traditional counseling.” The program is completely funded

by donations and the help of churches and volunteers. Rice and Duhamell are in search of a few male mentors for the program. “We are looking for anyone who has a heart for the ministry,” Rice said. “We will provide housing and meals for the mentors as well.” In addition to expanding the New Beginnings program the church will hold a fundraiser to help pay for the program. From 6 to 10 p.m., Aug. 6 at the Wabash REMC Building, they will be putting on Dance With your Star. The cost for the event is $25 per person, which includes food by Poole Foods, music, and pictures. For more information on the event call Melissa Rice at 260571-2348 or Rhonda Duhamell at 260-5711147. There are only 200 tickets available so make sure to get your tickets quickly.

10 Ball Brothers grant propels Manchester students to start economic index report for Wabash County www.thepaperofwabash.com

Manchester College students and two recent graduates will create an economic index to help Wabash County woo business and industry. The start-up project – underwritten by a $16,000 grant from Ball Brothers Foundation Venture Fund – will serve as a model for other rural areas, said John Deal, chair of the College’s economics program. “This analysis will show the industrial strengths that will hopefully draw

July 27, 2011

employers to the area,” said Deal, who is guiding the project with Matt Hendryx, visiting associate professor of economics. The goal is to generate three or four economic reports annually, beginning in April 2012. The economic reports will help Wabash County forecast area economic potential and outlook, said economics minor Karla Conrad of Pleasant Lake, who graduated with honors in May. This sum-

mer, she is gleaning data from public records with economics and accounting major Jason Elliott, who also graduated in May. In the fall, they will hand off the project to two current Manchester students with strong grasps of statistics and economic principals. “We are building a foundation for others to work off

of,” said Elliott, of Goshen, who will seek a graduate degree in environmental economics at Duke University. Conrad will seek a graduate degree in economic system design at Chapman University. The Ball Brothers Foundation grant, administered by Independent Colleges of Indiana, is funding the project startup

costs, including those associated with establishing relationships in the local business community, generating data, software and technology. Elliott and Conrad are working closely with Bill Konyha, president and chief executive officer of the Economic Development Group of Wabash County Inc., who is connect-

ing them with area banking and industry officials. After the first year of the project, it is hoped that sustaining support will come from area businesses and relationships, Deal said. In addition to updated reports, the students will create a guide for other communities to replicate the project. Recipients of

Business as usual at former Ream Steckbeck location after recent change in ownership

JIM SMITH is helped by Big City Paints Owner Sam Frazier on July 15 at his south side location. Recently, Frazier purchased Ream Steckbecks and Wayne’s Coatings. (Photo by Craig Brosman)

by Craig Brosman When Sam Frazier decided to buy Ream Steckbeck in June he knew exactly what he was getting into. Frazier had worked at the paint store on the south side of Wabash for 12 years and loved every minute of it. Where some people might not enjoy being in a retail environment where they work oneon-one with customers, Frazier relishes it. “I love the customers,” Frazier said. “I like it when people come into the store and have no idea

about paint products and I am able to help them. It is all about helping others for me.” After owning Ream Steckbeck for a month and changing its name to Big City Paints, he and his partner of 16 years, Shawn, (who helps manage) decided to purchase Wayne’s Coatings. He wants everyone to know that it will be business as usual for Wayne’s Coatings and they will keep the same paint lines they have had in the past. He knew how important both companies were

to the community, which is why he wanted to purchase both stores. “What we can offer at our stores that other places cannot is excellent service, selection, one-on-one service and we follow up with the customer,” he said. “We have people come from all over to get paint and supplies. “ Frazier carries two lines of paint that are very popular, California Paint products and Benjamin Moore Paint. In addition to his paint line they have a state-ofthe-art computer sys-

tem that can match paint colors. “We have people come from as far away as Noblesville and Muncie because we are the closest dealer of California Paint Products,” he said. “We also have an unparalleled knowledge of commercial and industrial coating products. We service many business all over the area in their coating needs.” What is special about his business is that the customer is always put first. He keeps color cards and about information clients’ projects on file and even follows up on them. They have color cards on file that are up to 40 years old. “We get lots of thank you cards in the mail,” he said. “We walk them through everything they could ever need to know about how to paint something and how to prepare it. We are really big on maintenance and we can put together maintenance plans for our customers. Our reputation is built on trust with our customer.” The part that keeps him going is the service to others. He is the

chaplain for the Hanna Lodge of the Freemasons and family, God and service to others are important to him. “I have been other places, but my family brings me back to Wabash,” he said, “It is all about faith, hope and charity, what can we do for others not ourselves. We need to give back. The reason

why we are here is because we believe in

the community and want to serve.”

Meth lab explosion destroys Peru mobile home An explosion at a mobile home near Peru on July 18 destroyed the home. The homeowner was arrested and incarcerated in the Miami County Jail. Indiana State Police at Peru were notified of an explosion and fire at a mobile home on 5851 S. US 31, Lot 44, near Peru. State police along with the Pike Creek Fire Department, Grissom Fire Department, Miami County Sheriff ’s Department, Bunker Hill Police Department and Miami County EMS arrived to find the owner, Russell J. Bassile Jr., 34, watching his mobile home burn. Witnesses had stated that three others had escaped the fire but had left the scene. During the course of the investigation by the Indiana State Police Clandestine Lab Team, it was determined that evidence of a methamphetamine lab was in operation and a search warrant was obtained from Miami Superior Court 2. At 11:23 p.m., the search warrant was executed at the residence and evidence had revealed that the explosion was caused by the manufacturing of methamphetamine. Russell J. Bassile Jr, was arrested and charged with Maintaining a Common Nuisance, a Class D felony, and was incarcerated in the Miami County Jail, Peru. A second subject who had fled the residence was found later and questioned but is not facing any charges at this time. Two other subjects are still sought. Anyone with information about this case should contact Sergeant T.J. Zeiser at the Peru State Police Post at 765-473-6666.

reminded the Commissioners that bids will be received on Aug. 15 for the North Façade project.

Striker shares personal experience regarding healthcare costs Dear editor, I am writing in regards to the article in the Wabash Plain Dealer of Richard Mourdock visiting Wabash. In the article it says Mr. Mourdock considers “Obamacare” to be unconstitutional. He says, “it must be repealed, defunded or overturned by the courts.” Mr. Bill Konyha says he supports Mr. Mourdock. In 2008, after three hospitalizations in Marion General Hospital and two hospitalizations at Riley Children’s Hospital, my son was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease. By the time we got to Riley, he was 5’4 and weighed 82 pounds. They said he was so malnourished he would have never gotten well. By the end of 2008, there was a $100,000 hospital bill and a diagnosis, finally, for my child. Nicholas started treatments in January 2009. We take him to Riley Hospital every eight weeks for an infusion (IV) of remicade. These visits last four hours and cost $5,000. He also takes a pill daily and the total cost for a year is $30,000. Without insurance we would be bankrupt.

Even with insurance we have a huge medical expense, but we would sell everything we owned to make sure he receives his treatments because without them he would be a very sick boy. Until they find a cure, he will receive these treatments for life. Before President Obama’s Health Care Bill, the insurance company could drop our son off our plan because he was costing too much. Since Nicholas was diagnosed at age 15, he now has a pre-existing condition that could have prevented him from receiving insurance. Before the bill, when he graduates college there could be a lapse of coverage where he would be off our insurance until he could get his own, if he could get his own. A lapse he cannot do. To me, that is illegal. Under President Obama’s current Health Care Bill, our son is protected. He cannot be denied insurance because he has a disease and cannot be dropped because of the expensive medicine he needs to survive. As a mother, I thank President Obama.

Jason and Tiffanie Bolen, Wabash, are the parents of a daughter born April 21, 4:05 p.m., at St. Joseph Hospital, Kokomo. Finley Dawn Bolen weighed 7 pounds, 1 ounce and was 20 inches long. She joins a brother, Caden Locklear, and a sister, Kahlani Locklear. Her mother is the former Tiffanie Shand Grandparents are Stan and Celia Shand, Lafayette; Karen Hanes, Peru; and Ed and Renata Bolen, Roann. Great-grandparents are Dick and Wilda Slisher, Lester Shand, and Catherine Adams.

have to make choices of medicine or food? Why should anyone in our country be denied medical care because they cannot afford it? Why is medicine so outrageous? Our legislators who are fighting this bill will retire one day with a fat pension and the best medical insurance in the country for free. If elected, Mr. Mourdock will receive those bene-

fits and Mr. Moudock thinks President Obama’s Health Care Bill is illegal? It is my hope that people will educate themselves on this bill. Mr. Mourdock should be fighting for the people and not trying to win votes. There are many other areas where taxpayer’s could be money saved. Marti Striker Lafontaine

A new lower may NOT be the answer to your problems! Due to the bone loss which occurs once teeth are removed, it is often difficult to be satisfied with a lower denture. Through the use of DENTAL IMPLANTS and the security they offer, loose lower dentures will no longer be a problem.
